If you fix the worktop to the floor it should not move around any more than it would on a solid floor. If it does check the levels & if ok you may have a problem with the washer. Is it brand new? Have you removed the shipping bolts?
40mm seems quite a lot, have you adjusted the legs on the appliance?
When appliance is fitted to right height, the underside of the appliance will then screw in to the worktop.

Your point 
How would you get into a washer to screw it to the work top when it is in situ? Or if you mean jacking it up on the height adjusters, wouldn't that make leveling difficult & transmit vibrations to work top & thus the surrounding cupboards etc.. Not being critical, just never seen that done before.
Many integrated appliances have provision for fixing up into the underside of the worktop...on dishwashers for example, when the door is opened you can see the fixing holes for the screws. There's often a heat / moisture repellent strip supplied too.
In Emma's case, if there isn't enough jacking facility on the legs, a couple of battens are used to slide the machine into place.

As mentioned by Burnerman some of these appliance allow to adjust the height and fix to worktop.
The make/model has not yet been offered by the OP and not sure if this is a new machine or not?
I do hope the OP has gone through the trouble to read the installation instruction that should be with the machine.
PS no offence taken, we are all hear trying to help and could well have different means of curing problems.
